And the really brilliant thing about postgrad programs in the UK - none that I applied to required the GRE!! (And I applied to Oxford, U. Sussex, U. Edinburgh, U. Kent at Canterbury, and St. Andrews - and was accepted everywhere).
I would encourage people to apply overseas - there are really great programs everywhere and I have had nothing but positive things to say about my experience so far.
Yikes - now I have to start thinking about my PhD applications (master's degrees here are only one year)! The fun never ends in the life of a permanent student.
Good luck to all applying for graduate school this year!

Been seriously considering doing another Masters or PhD at St. Andrews or Edinburgh... with the expanding Scottish/Gaelic programs there it'd be ideal... but I need to either get an extended leave from the military or get attached to a unit over there.... here's hoping
